Spring Break for Software Developers

Software development and programming technologies move so fast that it's not often that developers can slow down and take a breath. This is that month, as nothing really jumps out at me as a big trend.

For starters, the overall posting count was down on both a month-over-month and year-over-year basis. It was a Friday, and April Fools Day, so perhaps job posters were avoiding the web like everybody else.

Up top, Python has retaken the crown, edging out JavaScript. Looking into the top 10, Full Stack and DevOps have joined and node.js has rejoined.

One change to note, based on the suggestion from Markus Tacker I've added "Remote" to the trends this month to get an idea of how, or how not, Remote work trends are changing.

Happy trending, see anything that catches your eye?
